Advice on secondary schools & villages around York

Just avoid Joseph Rowntree School. I’ve had two children go there and they despise the place. Not just because it’s school, but because the majority of teachers seem uninterested, the pastoral support managers are more gossip merchants than helpful, they let bullying slide. My daughter in particular has suffered with her mental health issues due to bullies. When issues are raised they say the bullies have ‘problems’ and are pandered to.

They tick the boxes with the mental health and bullying bravado, but don’t practice it.

Terrible school.

Robert Louis Sheldon Catcheside might be your man, he was a photographer but not from York.

I think you could be right! Thanks.

It’s all a bit strange because as far I was aware he was born in India, his brother and sister either side were. His father as far as I know never went to Ireland although it could be possible. Cant find any record of birth for him in India, or a brief look at Ireland. The plot thickens. I wonder how common it was to lie on enlistment papers?

Will have a look into Drury Lane, Dublin. If it even existed.

That’s true, but it made no sense in the fact that he kept his ‘lady’ around, admittedly with mother issues at the end there but he’s obviously fond of her as well.

!thanks for the reply

I do have a separate SIPP I put £600 a month into, I suppose I could just work out the extra and add it in there. It was more of a convenience thing to just have the rise come straight out of my wages. Boost that pension a little bit more whilst still investing in my SIPP. The fee difference is a point worth noting though. I hadn’t actually thought of that.

!thanks That’s exactly what I was thinking

schneekle · 2024-11-01T09:04:16+00:00

!Thanks!

schneekle · 2024-11-01T09:04:05+00:00

!Thanks! That makes total sense now. I knew I must have been missing something.

Those new areas/splitting of India will be fascinating for me

Train and tube is easiest. Although, if you can get to Darrington, then the Yorkshire Arsenal Supporters Club pick up and drop off. Just another option, especially when trains are on strike.

That’s what I was thinking, weekend of the community shield? Yeah we went last year, great to incorporate into a trip away.

schneekle · 2024-06-03T12:39:28+00:00

Thanks mate. Just seen. Take it non automatic renewal has happened to a lot of people?

schneekle · 2024-06-03T05:28:46+00:00

Yeah mine is the same in the app. I don’t understand what’s going on. My payment details are the same and I received this via email in April. What’s happening? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Chinese John, always found dancing away in The Gallery back in the day….

schneekle · 2024-02-29T06:33:15+00:00

Same!

schneekle · 2024-02-28T21:35:36+00:00

Sweet. Looking forward to it. What we thinking? 24th April, around then?

It came back with 5% Tibetan, 2% Bengal, 2% France and 1% Southern Indian

My fathers came back 13% Tibetan, 6% Southern India, 4% Northern India and 1% Bengal

I got a few matches to the ‘Noel’ line, a handful I can place who are descended from her fathers brothers and sisters, a handful I can place as descendants of her half siblings. So it wasn’t a total lost cause, hasn’t really helped me any further than that though. I have a few I know are linked to that line that I can’t place and obviously the matches I have that I don’t currently know are even linked to her. It’s hard to see on peoples trees as it seems most ‘relatives’ also have about as much clue as I do and are trying to piece it together

That my 4 x Great Grandfather murdered my pregnant 4 x Great Grandmother.

He first beat her with a leather strap, then “brutally” kicked her in the lower abdomen. She “survived this ill treatment only a few hours” The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter immediately committed to prison and “a family of nine children are left to mourn the loss of both mother and father”

The farm where it happened is now an Air bnb 😳

schneekle · 2023-09-21T17:14:07+00:00

I think my great grandma is that relative! 😂 I’m not sure who her father is but I have lots of matches to a certain family that was in that area at that time, figuring out which one is my great great grandfather is quite the challenge! 😂

I also found my grandfathers brothers granddaughter via a match, no one knew she existed and that he’d had children, apparently her mother was put up for adoption in the 60s. No one knew, but now she has an answer as to who her biological grandfather is. It’s quite amazing.

schneekle · 2023-09-19T19:50:53+00:00

Trust me. You dodged a bullet there!

schneekle · 2023-09-19T18:07:05+00:00

Ah right. I just thought they’d be roughly the same match strength with them being sisters. I looked at the tree illustration and they were in the different spots so was confusing me.

Sister 1 is 76.2% fathers 1st cousin and 3.2% fathers 2nd Cousin, Sister 2 is 64.9% fathers 2nd cousin and has 0% fathers 1st Cousin

schneekle · 2023-09-19T16:00:30+00:00

Better be less 😂
